Abstract

In this study, we described the first results from an x-ray reflectometer which has been modified from an existing Kratky small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) camera at the UNM/Sandia scattering center. Typically, seven orders of magnitude of reflectivity can be obtained over a range of 0.02 to 0.5 Å−1 in q. This allows the resolution of surface features of 10 to 1000 Å. The conversion to reflectometer is reversible and can be achieved in a short time, allowing for dual use of an existing Kratky camera.
